The article reports that the government collapsed due to
the rising cost of universal healthcare and Prime Minister Juha Sipila’s
failure to enact reforms to the system. Sipila and the rest of the cabinet
resigned after the governing coalition failed to “pass reforms in parliament to
the country’s regional government and health services.”

If Finland’s problems aren’t enough to convince you that such socialist policies are a road to disaster, take a look at problems in other Nordic countries, such as Sweden and Denmark.

“Nordic countries, where
comprehensive welfare is the cornerstone of the social model, have been among
the most affected,” according to Reuters. “But reform has been
controversial and, in Finland, plans to cut costs and boost efficiency have
stalled for years.”

If America — and its Democratic
Presidential hopefuls — can’t learn from this example, we’re all in for a rough
ride.
